Re: Keeps kicking me out of my apps and back to the home screen

Jump to solution

Well....spoke too soon. Tried the factory reset on another Roku Express 4k+ I have and it does not work. After 30 minutes of Hulu Live TV it closed out to the home screen. Tried everything so far. One of my Roku Express played tv for over 2 hrs without shutting off after a factory reset. My other Express 4k+ still canceled out to the home screen after 30 minutes following a factory reset.

This is exactly what I'm experiencing. After about 30 mins on Hulu Live, it kicks back to the Roku home screen. The resolutions previously provided do not help.

And the Roku admins are no longer responding with their automated responses. Hulu is completely ignoring this growing issue in their forums also.

The responses by Ruku and Hulu do not fix anything nor do they address the reason why it only happens on Fox News on multiple devices. Take your politics out of my paid subscription!

Re: Hulu + Live App reverts to home screen

Jump to solution

This has been going on for 2 weeks. I have spent tons of time with Hulu, removing app, Power cycle, etc. I have 2 firestick and 2 roku. It is only happening on the Roku. Will play for about 30 minutes or so and then reverts back to home screen. I have done everything. I am thinking it is a Roku issue. Maybe an update "broke" it.

Cookie-cutter responses are not only useless, they're insulting. Of course these "fixes" won't work. The issue has nothing to do with connectivity and everything to do with the application. Hulu has confirmed this. My suggestion for the future is to completely read the issue, consult with the "tech script" and formulate a useful response that relates to the actual issue.

This is happening to me as well. We have multiple TVs using the Hulu streaming app and it happens on every TV. OUTRAGEOUS!!!

Same issue here.  Tried all recommended fixes.  Nothing worked.  Sure would be nice to get some official guidance from HULU/Roku as to their awareness of the issue and a time line for this matter being addressed.
